Shobhaa De | Parliament’s Bag Ladies and India’s meme stakes
Deccan ChronicleMahua Moitra’s bag replaced Ranveer Singh’s butt in the meme stakes this week. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the fierce attack launched against one of our most articulate MPs for “hiding” her pricey LVMH bag from prying, all-seeing cameras in the House, during a heated debate on “mehngai”. My host looked away dreamily and sighed: “Forget her bag… I really like Mahua… she’s hot.” The other guests were up in arms, especially the hostess who icily corrected her husband with a sharp put down, telling him the issue was much bigger than his crush on Mahua. And look -- there’s a belligerent Smriti Irani screaming herself hoarse in Parliament, eyes blazing, index finger wagging – “Sonia Gandhi maafi mango…” during the “Rashtrapatni” debacle… hoping nobody would go deeper into her own little hiccup in Goa, which was deftly sorted out for Ms Irani by the Delhi high court.
